Episode 1 - Glen Packiam
When we find ourselves in the dark after loss, big questions often follow: Where is God now? Why can’t I see Him here? Why can’t we sense His presence? How can I trust that God is good? Why did this happen?
The deep theological wrestlings that often arise after the pain of grief can be jarring. But we need permission to ask the raw questions. We need a space to say them aloud. And we need a guide to help us find answers in the dark.
In this first episode of the What We Find in the Dark Podcast, join host Aubrey Sampson and her guest, pastor and author Glenn Packiam, as they uncover what exactly entails a dark night of the soul, the questions that can emerge after a season of loss and grief, and why wrestling with God in our biggest questions is so important.
If you find yourself struggling with a darkness and seeming silence from God, this conversation will help you see what may feel obscure in the darkest seasons of loss and grief.
“There is something about the whispers of God that gets us to come closer.”
